the big city

location: Provo, Utah

here is what some of its temporary college student occupants do for kicks and giggles:


 some of us slide down ridiculously steep grass hills covered with plastic tarps slathered in soap suds

{ and yield large bruises on our upper thighs as painful reminders of our stupidity }



some of us jump out of perfectly good trees

...

{ some with slightly more grace than others }




while some of us watch those others of us fall out of those trees and prefer to stay dry with our pride intact


and still others of us feel the need to make a ridiculously big deal out of a simple kickball game

{ because, if we're being honest with ourselves, we all know fun comes hand in hand with face paint }




just livin' the life

aka: the 5th child in our family


she is small
she is fluffy
and she is louder than your average terrier


also she is camera shy


{ oh and she's an intellectual }

the raid

coming home means some things...

1. mom's cooking
2. almost guaranteed sunny days and 72 degrees
and 3. new music

the playlist I've accumulated from this visit has been especially lucrative with such gems as The New Pornographers' new CD, She & Him's newest album and my current obsession, Josh Ritter's newest musical masterpiece:




The Curse is favorite
and always stuck in my head.

it's about a mummy and the archaeologist he falls in love with and then leaves for another women when she gets old.


no laughing until you listen to it.  
which you can do here

I swear a boa constrictor sheds less than this...

I promise I promise I promise to wear 35 SPF forever and always after this if you will please stop itching!
